Why stop at just one half?
They don’t do any reporting to begin with.
They just regurgitate the talking points that are handed down from the Regime, anyway.
abc”News”. What a joke.

ABC pushes anti-business Obama down our throats. Obama destroys business.
ABC fires much of its staff.
JUSTICE IS SERVED!
Yes, indeed! This is the network that features some of its programming coming from the White House, IIRC.
How sweet it is!

That means the era of Jimmy Olsen is back.

Survivorman could teach them how to shoot and edit their own stories.

I never heard the term “digital jouralist before. It sounds like a computer, which come to think of it, might do a
a better job too!

“How ironic is it that the ONLY bureau THEY think worth keeping is INSIDE THE BELTWAY.”
Actually it’s not ironic, it’s a sign of the times. After all, ALL the IMPORTANT news is from Washington these days anyhow right? And we certainly don’t need “fact checkers” since anything coming from the 0 regime is by definition blessed truth...right?
ABCCBSCNNNBC is in a lot of trouble really, for obvious reasons. #1 being that very few people think they have anything to do with “objectivity”.

Westin is responsible for all those job cuts. He recommended them. There’s clearly another reason why he left. I think he just had too many disagreements with the suits in the higher offices.

They just make up the news anyway. They don’t really need reporters.

I said it yesterday, if ABC could think with their heads instead of their tingly parts, they would create an alliance with Fox News, which has everything to cover global news, and co-opt the “fair and balanced” approach to hard news. Gee, balanced reporting, what a concept...

sounds like they are going to rely on Libtards shooting and uploading their own stories to an ABC News channel on YouTube?
To: Interesting Times
I guess all the news has been reported. There isn’t any left.

"I think by virtually any measure, our economy is a better place than it was two years ago," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said at his daily briefing. Right, ABC? Right?????

"Westin is responsible for all those job cuts. He recommended them. Theres clearly another reason why he left. " Yes, that's clearly right. BUT, I'm sure Westin was given a number he had to meet, a reduction in expenses from the previous annual period. This is the formula he came up with. But, I suspect he didn't want to reduce anything, which was the cause of the friction.

Halve the number of Commies!! well that is a start.

I’m taking bets on whether Peter Jennining’s replacment will announce on November 2 that voters had another temper tantrum!
